I thought he wasn’t even in the UK to be arrested. Did he go back?
Edit:
Brand has not been placed under arrest, the Met tells NPR. The agency says he was interviewed and then charged via “postal requisition” — a court summons informing him of the charges.

I guess the OP thinks he got arrested by mail since that’s not even the article title.
He wasn’t detained either. He was charged by mail with a summons(postal requisition). In the US detention means stopping you in one place while in the UK detention can mean bringing you to the police station for a charge. He didn’t have either happen. I don’t even think he’s in the UK right now.
